Example number 1,537 of why front row forwards should NEVER attempt drop goals

AS DEFENCES BECOME more prominent in rugby and flair is sacrificed for efficiency, it is great to know that every so often a front row will still attempt an ill-advised drop goal.

Bath beat Sale last night and at one stage when the Sharks had a penalty advantage, prop Vadim Cobilas tried a snapshot drop goal.

Or maybe he was attempting a cheeky grubber kick, who knows.

That isn’t even the first time Cobilas has panicked in an attacking situation. Earlier in the season he made a lovely break against Saracens before promptly remembering he is a tighthead prop and firing a no-look pass over his shoulder.

Maybe Cobilas should take some pointers from Adam Jones.

Or Matt Dunning, who seemed to get a bit of stick for actually nailing his drop goal during a Super Rugby match.
